It’s enough using one of these and remove the rubber band from the tool itself just using the rubber band. Then you won’t use too much force but the added grip will be enough to remove or secure it. Steve sells recommended it one time.
The problem is lack of grip. Not force you can apply with your hand. You wrap the rubber band around the burndy metal part and done without excessive force.
If I had problems with the Burndy latching rings, this would be my first choice. We have a couple and they’re great for all sorts of things (stuck jar lids, etc.). Every home should have a pair.
